Hotel keepers and restaurant owners
seldom patronize their own establish

Is fact, though, no matter how odd it
may be. You will see young Charles Del
monico for example, taking his meals a
good deal Oftener in some inferior restau-
rant like Browns than in his own estab-
lshment, and, il you care to look into the
matter, you will find that nearly all the
first class hotel proprietors in New York
live outside. l suppose they reflect that
hotels are good enough for people who
don't know better than to live in them,
but are not good enough for the wants of
their proprietors. The late Charles Del

tempted TO touch the richer viands most
sought after by his guests Rare roast
beef and oysters formed the principal
features OF his diet, and the only wine he
drank was win or,linaire. The present
representative Of the family is not quite
so careful to observe complete simplicity
in the matter Of diet, but he likes variety
and he goes to all sorts Of restaurants to
get 1t. Martineni, the table d'hote man,
may often be found in some queer restau-

there are lots more just like him. But

But, above all, the landscape conveys
to stranger from the west Of Europe a
sense Of space, as of a country where every
tree is not numbered; where there is much

the Russian peasants are opera chorus

they wear sheep skin coming down to

The Art Of Conversing.

The reason why many who converse are
dull, is our fault, not theirs; our bearing,
because We have not learned the art Of
patiently listening, restraints and embar-
rasseS them. Were we more respectful
and benevolent. the tongue of the one
speaking would disentangle itself, and
give us many treasures of head and heart.
Hence, in conrersing, we should never
seem To feel toward the one speaking that
We are perfectly acquainted with every
thing he Is saying or can say; that kills
lis glow. and we shall shortly have for 4
companion stick or stone.
Hence, also, when our interiors are
speaking, We should never put words into
their lips. Start the mass of men. then,
while the glow and how are upon them,
preserve a dead silence; you will shortly
have poured into your ears all the hest
things they know. When you have given
even an uneducated, il intelligent. man
the impression that you have become his
interested listener. he will give you valu-
able thoughts not found in your books and
schools. With the utmost magnauimity
we must tolerate occasional dullnes> and
learn To listen for profit. if not from prin-
Ciple. The self denial involved, or the dis

Beginning Of QuadrupIe Sheets

AWAY back in the days when Bu-
chanan was president" said Mai. George
+. Williams the other day, while l was
mere boy setting type, Robert Bonner
startled tie Town one morning by filling
a whole page in The Herald, Times and
Tribune With his then novel style of re
peating small advertisements He used
to say that Fanny Fern wrote for the
New York Ledger over and over again
until the two lines Of caps filed out col
umn; another would be devoted TO Syl-
vanus Cobb, another to Mrs Southworth,
and so on to complete the page. IL used TO
be difficult, | remember, for the compost
tors to find enough rs and Ms to do the
work. Well, On the morning ] speak Of
Mr.. Henry J. Raymond had arranged for
the publication Of one Of his famous con-
troversial political letters in The Times,
but on picking up his paper at his break
fast table he discovered that il had been
unavoidably left out because of Mr.
BOnner's advertisements. Though The
Times needed money In those days, for
It was still in its infancy, Mr. Raymond
was q journalist who knew what he was
about Mr.. Raymond got AS angry rs it
was possible with his sunny, amiable tenn
permanent, and wrote An editorial for the
next issue OF The Times announcing that
newspapers were primarily published for
the benefit Of their readers, who wanted
news and comment. Unless they got that
circulation was in danger, and though six
columns Of advertisements brought in a
good deal Of money, he did not propose to
see The Times swamped with such adyer-
tisements as Mr.. Bonner wrote. He said
that thereafter the proprietor Of The
Ledger could have only three columns on
any one day, and for time he didn't"
''How did Mr.. Bonner like that
''Oh, he was shrewd enough to fill his
three columns with brief letter to Mr..
Raymond, beginning: No, you don't,
Mr.. Raymond and stating that as he
could not have six columns on one day he
would take three on two lays in the week.
Getting tired Of that, Mr.. Bonner con-
tracted with The Herald and Times to fill
An extra sheet Of eight pages with his
Fanny Ferns, Sylvanns Cobbs, Edward
Everetts, Mrs. Southworths, ct al. That
was the beginning Of the quadruple
sheets. The Journalist.

THE COW AND HER CALF.
Teaching Young Bovine to Drink-Bo.
ish Cruelty to Animals.

| Teaching n Young Bovine to Drink-Boy.
ish Cruelty t" Animals.
Learning calf 10 drink was one OF
my boyish crosses. The natural position
Of calf in nursing is one with the head
elevated, and the nose turned up OF
course there is opposition when these po-
| sitions are exactly reversed and the calf
has to swallow up instead OF down Every
country boy knows all about the process;
| how he sticks his horny hand and nail
tipped fingers into the tender mouth. hith-
erto accustomed only to the soft teat Of
the mother; how the frightened animal
struggles; how he jams its head down
into the milk; how the calf ''bunts" and
drives the milk in showers into the face
! Of the boy, and how in time the little
juvenile passes from IA sucker to n drjnker,
and then is ready for the advent Of the
buyer.
Removed by long time from these oc-
currences, find there is something truly
pathetic in the life Of the average calf and
its mother. She is deprived of it at the
earliest possible moment in order that her
milk may he used for the dairy. and pend
ing the arrival of purchaser il is fed on
a khinned milk less expensive than the
original article. Whoever in city ct coun-
try has seen \ cow in company with her
calf has notice d every evidence Of warm
affection. When opportunity offers she
laps its skin with her tongue, and caresses
it with her nose, and places herself in
vitingly in position TO enable 1t to reach
the fountain of nourishment
When the calf is taken away, her dis
tress is rs evident as that Of a woman
who has lost her child. Her melancholy
cry rolls across the country and is echoed
from the hills There are in IL qualities
Of grief that are as palpable rs If EN-
bodied i'll the human voice All the day
and during the solemn stiffness Of the
night, at intervals of few minutes, the
ing child breaks on the ear
To the boy there is nothing pathetic in
the occurrence. IL is something which is
to him matter of course. He is vet a
savage. He watches the sticking" OF
hogs in the annual butchering with lively
interest, and longs for the time when he
can perform the same feat. He sees with
indifference the enraged farmer plant his
heavy cowhide boot in the ribs OF
fractions COW. and with equal equani,l lity
sees the same person maui the head Of an
unbroken colt, or a sensitive. timid horse.
with heavy sled stake. At this remote
period my conscience pricks me for the
stoning of animals, the kicking Of patient
horses, and other things Of the kind
which, when done, We're done with entire
unconsciousness as to their brutality
